He said, “We have prayerfully checked Peter’s ability to be recognised and his calling is now acknowledged publicly and he has made promises and committed himself as a disciple of Christ”.
The Rev Ian Bunce, Head of Mission Department Baptist 
Union, brought greetings from 2100 Baptist Churches and he said that he had met Peter five years ago and he spoke of how he had to stand before the Baptist Church officials in Ipswich and be grilled to make sure that he was suitable for the work. Not only did he have to produce evidence of his work but the quality of his humour was assessed and his wife was also grilled. Happily, at the end of these meetings it was decided that Peter was indeed a man of God capable of Chaplaincy and together with the course that he had to complete is now totally recognised by the Baptist Church.
